WORKING HOLIDAY AUSTRALIA

Working holiday makers must hold a passport of a country which has a reciprocal arrangement with Australia.

The Working Holiday Program provides opportunities for people between 18 and 30 from some countries (The United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, the Republic of Ireland, the Republic of Korea, Malta, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, Finland, the Republic of Cyprus, Italy, Belgian and France.) to holiday in Australia and to supplement their travel funds through incidental employment.

The working holiday visa allows you to stay 1 or 2 years from the date of first entry to Australia, regardless of whether or not you spend the whole time in Australia.

You are allowed to do all kind of temporary or casual work. 

Work for more than six months with any one employer is not permitted.

Work Abroad

Choosing a study destination abroad that offers work opportunities has become a main deciding factor for many students. Students are looking for work to support their studies or to gain valuable international work experience, which will assist them get a job when they return home.

Brisbane and South East Queensland have one of the highest concentrations of tourism and hospitality in Australia, which provides students with a range of work opportunities. However, most students have little or no skills or work experience and lack confidence in their English skills to approach prospective employers. These days, employers usually request written proof of training or industry experience and are looking for confident English speakers who are motivated, enthusiastic, confident and responsible.

HIC and HTA (Hospitality Training Association of Australia) have developed a range of programs to provide a training ground for students to develop their English language and hospitality skills. Students who sucessfully complete this program are often provided with employment contacts and interviews in the local area, although it is the student’s responsibility to attend the interview and impress the employer with their new skills and enthusiasm.

Although there are no guarantees in securing work with or without these programs, students who have sucessfully competed this program have enjoyed a higher sucess rate in securing work.
